• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

5th Annual USO Spt Ri(y)de

Remember how Spydergene started his discription of the Missouri Rendezvous? (Spyder Fest US) I quote:

"Here is the story of how it began.

Last year there was a spyder and two wheeler event at Fort Lenard Wood in support of the USO on post".

Well that was last year's ride.

The 5th Annual USO Support ride will take place on 12 June 2010. The ride starts at the Lebanon, MO Ozark Harley Davidson store.

Address is 2300 Industrial Drive, Lebanon, MO 65536.

Kickstands up (or Emrgency Brakes Off) at 1200 (12:00 noon). Cost is $10.00 per bike/$15.00 with passenger. Get there a little early to register and meet new friends. The ride will travel county roads to the Ft. Leonard Wood USO.

We will need to stage at the front gate of Ft Leonard Wood for a quick security check. I am coordinating that, and hope it runs as smoothly as last year.

There were several Spyders at the event last year. Drew quite a bit of attention, as you might immagine.

Riders and passengers will have to comply with certain PPE requirements:
The Army and the Fort have stringent requirements for motorcycle safety.

All riders will be required to wear eye protection, DOT Helmet, long pants, some form of riding gloves, and ankle high foot wear. All military must abide by normal PPE requirements

Yes xpeschon, you will have to wear a shirt.

This is a fun event, supporting a great organization. ALL proceeds are donated to the USO at the end of the ride.

Here is a link to the event flyer. I can also e-mail it if you'd like. Call 573-512-1419, or pm myself or BumbleBee.

Let's see last year we had Spydergene formally BMWGene, Irishtothemax Captainryder, The Pitbull Buggy, Midnighthog, Xpeschon and Mo Lee on Spyders we did the ride as a group within a group and not to brag we seemed to be the stars of the show. The Post General came out to see the Spyder group and speak to a few of us as we were leaving. Afterwards a few of us took another ride to the Lake of the Ozarks for dinner and good conversation around the hotel pool. We had a great time and there is no way I'm going to miss it this year.
 
Would not could not miss this one....AS G-man stated this is where it all began, you can bet i'll do my part to bring as many of our 3 wheeled buddys as possible, and this year I won't be a fool and miss the evenig activitys like last year, these kind of thing you just have to take time and make time to be there start to end. Looking very very forward to it guys.........lol all hale the Queen:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::yikes:....that one just cost me:lecturef_smilie:

Ok so I go to bed with the chickens, but I do get up before the rooster crows.
 
Nice, short ride. BumbleBee and I rode the route a couple of weeks ago. Raises money for a great cause. The USO does so much to support the morale of our troops, at home and abroad.
 
Oh yah, I'm ready.. The best part about this ride is actually the end.. They have a huge ceremony, the Commanding General will normally either ride a bike if he has one (Not sure he is a biker) or will lead from the back seat of a trike,, if he can't make it then he will send a rep.. However, the Post Command Seargeants Major I'm sure will be there on his bike, he is a biker--- I was stationed with him in Fort Campbell many years ago,, so Len as to copy your reply: "Game On"

PS: Maybe if the General is not a biker we can coordinate to put him on the back of a spyder, I'll volunteer ONLY IF the rest of the spyders can be up front with him and I... What do you think GMan, can you make this happen?

Good event---a "must attend" ride

OK ----so here we go again
So what time do I meet up in Cuba for the ride to Lebanon.
Then whats the name of the motel at the Lake. Need to make reservations.
oh yes ----dose it have hair dryers in each room.
 
Gene---I don't think all of that is going to happen this year, I think its simply a ride, I know I have not made any coordinations for the extra activity that we did last year.. I can tell you this though, possible after everything is all over, (I'm guessing about 2:30-3:00) we can go out on our own un-planned adventure with all the spyders... I'm game though..
